YES! This experience happens mainly in the shallow waters of a platform from which most of the interactions happen, but there is also a moment in which each participant will swim with dolphins, with the opportunity to wear a mask to appreciate the dolphins from the surface.
The oils and residues from sunscreen (even biodegradable ones) are harmful to dolphins. Please wear sun-protective clothing to protect your skin and our marine life at the same time.
